The Indonesia stock market has moved higher in two of three trading days since the end of the two-day slide in which it had lost more than 90 points or 1.3 percent. The Jakarta Composite Index now sits just above the 6,800-point plateau and it's got a solid lead again for Wednesday's trade.
The global forecast for the Asian markets is positive on bargain hunting and earnings news. The European and U.S. markets were up and the Asian markets are expected to follow that lead.
